Velo de Oza have a powerful live show that has won fulsome praise from Leila Cobo in Billboard: "...troupe plays a mixture of carranga -- folk music from Colombia's countryside, mostly the state of Boyacá -- married to rock and pop. The sound is unique, in large part thanks to the use of traditional instruments like the guacharaca (a sort of tube scraped by a fork to produce a scratching sound) and a fantastic sense of humor both onstage and in recordings. Fun to watch and hear."Billboard Magazine, September 2014 http://bit.ly/1LjQe0Y
From the mountainous Andean uplands of Colombia’s Boyacá region, Velo de Oza has their unique fusion of rock and the traditional sounds of carranga. The band have been together for 11 years, and are pioneers in the evolution of carranga rock. In 2012 they released their first full length album “Sumercé” to national acclaim, and subsequently secured showcases in Colombia’s principal music conferences, the Bogotá Music Market (2014) and Circulart (2014 and 2016). The band was also the recipient of grants from the Colombian Ministry of Culture to participate in WOMEX (2013 UK and 2016 Spain and this year). They went to SXSW (Texas, USA) in 2016 and they had a tour of Europe in with 24 shows (Spain, Germany, Czech Republic). Recently they were invited by Carlos Vives to record a song for the new album "Pombo Musical 2" with other of the most important Colombian artist like ChocQuibTown, Andrés Cepeda, Monsieur Perine and Jorge Celedón. They were recently in a important miniseries called "Los Corredor" acting and making the music.
In this moment the band is finding some people to articulate the new tours and the promotion for the new album. This one is in recording process.
